Description
CITROËN TRACTION 11 BL Chassis n°595948 Engine no. AJ16173 One of the last flat-trunk versions Ex André Trigano. Well-preserved old restoration One owner from 1956 to 2007 French collector's registration 6 000 / 8 000€ Revolutionary! At the time, this was the best definition of the Citroën Traction Avant. With its well-designed monocoque bodywork, four independent wheels and front-wheel drive, the new Citroën was on the verge of a technological breakthrough. In fact, it took over 20 years to build. The Citroën "Traction Avant" was officially launched in May 1934 as a 7hp. As for the 11cv fiscaux, it appeared a few months later for the Paris Motor Show in two body styles, a small one, called the "11 Légère", and the "11 normale", 20 cm longer and 12 cm wider. The model we're presenting here is an 11 BL from 1952. This car is one of the last to be fitted with its characteristic flat trunk. It belonged to the same owner for 51 years. This enthusiast from Ariège sold it to André Trigano in 2007. In 2016, the car was sold at auction with André Trigano's Citroën collection. It was at this sale that our collector acquired the car. He immediately fell in love with the car, and took it on several rallies, replacing the clutch, master cylinder, gearbox and many other parts. Eventually, it became part of his museum collection. Since then, it's been out of action and needs to be restarted. CITROËN TRACTION 11 BL Chassis no. 595948 Engine no. AJ16173 One of the last versions with flat trunk Ex André Trigano.
